John Ruskin

Sinopse

In "Hortus Inclusus," John Ruskin blends poetic prose with artful observation, constructing a vivid tapestry that reflects his deep affinity for nature and the human spirit. This work serves as a contemplative exploration of a garden, symbolizing both a physical space and a metaphor for inner life. Influenced by Romantic ideals, Ruskin's lyrical style invites readers into a world rich with sensory detail and philosophical musings, punctuated by his keen aesthetic sensibilities. The book's narrative unfolds in a manner that intertwines art, morality, and personal reflection, creating a resonant dialogue between the natural environment and cultural commentary. John Ruskin (1819-1900), a prominent Victorian art critic, social thinker, and philanthropist, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the beautiful landscapes of England, as well as his studies of art and architecture. His dedication to social reform and appreciation of beauty is evident throughout his life's work, providing a profound context for "Hortus Inclusus." Ruskin's belief in the moral imperative of beauty is intricately woven into the fabric of this book, revealing his personal struggles, philosophical inquiries, and vision of a reconciled relationship between man and nature. This exquisite work is highly recommended for those intrigued by the intersections of art, nature, and philosophy. Ruskin's explorations will resonate with readers seeking deeper insights into the human experience and the ethereal beauty surrounding us. It is a timeless invitation to connect with the natural world and reflect upon the values that shape our existence.

Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins...

One R. Pagan

From the cup of coffee that jumpstarts the day to dangerously addictive drugs, the recreational use of plants with psychoactive properties has a long history among humans.But, as with many things, it turns out that other animals got there first.From parrots to primates, consuming medicinal chemicals is an instinctive behavior that helps countless organisms fight infection and treat disease. But the similarities don't end there: Like us, many creatures also consume substances that have no apparent benefit . . . except for inducing intoxication. In fact, animals have been using drugs for recreational purposes since prehistoric times. We may even have animals to thank for the idea—legend says that coffee was discovered by observing the behavior of goats that had eaten it. In his previous book, Strange Survivors, author and biologist Oné R. Pagán introduced readers to some of the truly bizarre strategies animals use to survive in the cutthroat world of natural selection. Now, in Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins, he sheds light on the surprising cravings they indulge when it's time to unwind. In this book, you'll get an eye-opening glimpse into the mind-altering behavior of the non-human members of the animal kingdom, spanning insects to elephants—including the dolphin species that apparently likes to pass around an intoxicating pufferfish as if they were sharing a joint. Combining fascinating science with humor and enthusiasm, Pagán's latest is full of the kind of unforgettable stories and odd facts that you'll find yourself repeating to everyone you meet. From fruit fly happy hour to the evolutionary reasons behind nature's drugs, Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins takes you on a trip through the colorful world of animal intoxication—and along the way, explores what this science reveals about the surprising connections between all the world's creatures.
